Role Description Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment. What this opportunity involves: - Building a dataset to evaluate AI coding agents - how well a model handles real-world developer tasks. - Creating challenging tasks and evaluation criteria within realistic simulated environments: - Build realistic developer environments - a virtual company with codebase, infrastructure, and context (tickets, docs, conversations) that forms a believable development history. - Design tasks from intermediate states of these environments - craft the prompt, define what "solved" means, and ensure the task is solvable by an AI agent. - Write tests that verify agent solutions - accept all valid approaches and reject incorrect ones, neither too strict nor too lenient. - Iterate on tasks and tests based on QA feedback - review agent solutions, analyze failures, and refine until the evaluation is fair and robust. What this is NOT: - Not data labeling. - Not prompt engineering. - Not writing code from scratch - the agent writes most of the code; you guide and evaluate. Qualifications - 8+ years in software development. - Core stack: Python (FastAPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), Docker, Postgres, Kafka, Redis. - Experience writing tests (functional, integration). - English proficiency - B2+. Requirements - Deep understanding of where models fail and what scenarios reveal the difference between a good and a bad solution. - Ability to create tasks that genuinely challenge the best models. - Writing tests that accept all correct solutions and reject incorrect ones. Benefits - Compensation: Up to $200/hr equivalent, depending on level and pace. - Tasks are estimated at ~30 hours each; you set your own schedule. How it works - Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid. - Tasks for this project are estimated to take 30 hours to complete, depending on complexity. This is an estimate and not a schedule requirement; you choose when and how to work. - Tasks must be submitted by the deadline and meet the listed acceptance criteria to be accepted.
